I have had the privilege to paint art for another NFL
football stadium, Lambeau Field, the stadium for the Green Bay Packers, one of
the oldest franchises in the NFL. Eight of my paintings in their permanent art
collection adorn different sections of the suites and club levels of Lambeau
Field inGreen BayWisconsin.
I have also have works or art in the permanent collection of the NFL’s
Levi Stadium, home of the San Francisco Forty Niners and the US Bank stadium,
home of the Minnesota Vikings, among other arena’s and ballparks. (see bio.)

About the Green Bay
Packers Art

I feel it is a great honor to be able to create work that
celebrates the culture and history of Lambeau Field, one of the great stadiums
to watch a football game in. Using
canvas, acrylic and other materials such as maps and old newsprint with the
images I painted specific players along with a series of old football
posters. I was given great freedom to paint what I
wanted. As my favorite era of the Green
Bay Packers was the sixties I created half of the paintings from that period.

Why I am a fan of Green Bay Packers

The reason I am such a fan of the Packers is that during the
sixties I had a good friend whose family was from Green Bay, Wisconsin. We spent a couple of weeks in Green Bay, and went to
their practice field every day. What was
so great about those days was that one could sit on the practice field, on the
bench, with the players and actually talk with them. Can you imagine sitting next to your football
idols? My favorite of all times was Ray
Nitschke the absolutely best linebacker off all time. Yup. Sat next to him and
talked. Fuzzy Thurston, the great
lineman, Jim Taylor, Paul W. Horning, (the golden boy) Jerry Kramer, etc.

Original paintings are featured in several areas on Lambeau
Field's Associated Bank Club Level. It includes rarely seen historical
photographs provided by the Press-Gazette and art obtained from nineteen
artists through the sports consulting firm, Sports & The Arts.
